I'll try, but he never answers my calls anymore. All I get is this

Looks like you may be calling his fax line.

So, do you think you could get Earl to join this thread? Do you know him?

Earl Barker is a busy man. According to Facebook he works in...

Pittsburgh, PA at the Cinello Insurance Agency...

and Jacksonville, FL at Slott Baker & Nussbaum.

How he can do all that and predict the weather is beyond me.

Can I expect to not have to work and go to class on Friday? Cuz I really want that to happen.

Plan on having class. ISU won't cancel for this.

Nope! I just found this ultra-accurate forecast site. Hasn't been off more than 1" in the last 6 years.

You must be getting your info from WOI channel 5

Noon update from KCCI is calling for 8" in the metro. More to the south and west. Less to the north and east.

KCCI is a 4 letter word in FDWxMan's weather thread!

And again, for others, there is not a guy named Earl forecasting this. It's raw model output.

But, Earl is a real person that runs the site.

But, Earl is a real person that runs the site.

I just wanted to make it clear that it's the same as the other GFS and NAM output maps that are posted.

Sometimes the impression is giving that it is another interpreted, analyzed forecast by someone.

Not attempting to single anyone out or bash the maps, just clarifying for new people dropping in who may not know exactly what they're looking at.

Well, 18z NAM seems to be showing more again... but as fdwx4man has been saying, its the outlier.

 

[MissouriCyclone]

Everyone in my town back home is freaking out. Supposed to be 15-18" for them.... They don't know what to do for 5", I can only imagine 15".

 

[NickTheGreat]

So my weekend jaunt to SW Iowa and back should probably be postponed :twitcy:

Are you sure? I thought I saw Earl at TruValue buying a snow shovel.

That first guy works at an insurance agency? Apparently they emphasize the casual when they require their employees dress business casual. And feel bad that Earl nunber 2 thinks he still has a job at Hostess.

Winter Storm Warning now in place for all of central Iowa.

Snow-mageddon is coming to KC! I really hope we get snow (tons of it) between 2am-7am so KU gets canceled.

Only 7 dollars? Geez, what a cheapo.

 

[ISUME]

Only 7 dollars? Geez, what a cheapo.

Maybe they are trying to figure out how many people will work for that price. After which they will go around finding clients that are willing to pay $10 for this service and setup a schedule for these workers to shovel.

This cheapo could be an entrepreneur.

 

[cougarcy]

I want to see the process he used to come up $7....carry the 4 divid by 3 HAHA $7

 

[Tailg8er]

Only 7 dollars? Geez, what a cheapo.

My 1st thought as well. As a kid I always got at least a 10 spot. Can't imagine what normal prices are nowadays with inflation & what not. Hopefully they haven't gone up as much as softball prices.
